Friendly Spot Ice House opening in King William

The Friendly Spot Ice House is set to officially open this week for First Friday festivities in Southtown. Hours for the ice house, in the site that formerly housed King Willie’s at 943 S. Alamo St., will be 2-11 p.m. Wednesday-Thursday, 2 p.m.-12:30 a.m. Friday-Saturday and 2-11 p.m. Sunday.

René Guerrero of Madhatters Tea House is opening the Friendly Spot Ice House.

“What we’re going to do is bring back a piece of history to the neighborhood,” Guerrero told 210SA earlier this year. An ice house called the Friendly Spot once existed under a different owner at the location now held by Chandies Salon, Guerrero said.

A post on the Facebook fan page says: “The food is going to be food from the interior of Mexico. Cochita Pibil, Pollo Pibil, Ceviche de Vera Cruz, Salsa Fresca, Queso de Chihuahua, Elotes, and when if/when it gets cooler, pozole, wings in mole!”

A message on the voicemail says, “Stop by and tell us what you think.”
